Could you really call Radiohead new?
Anyway, aside from that, I'd be willing to concede that these are capable musicians, but I couldn't honestly say I find their work interesting or pleasant to listen to.[/QUOTE]
Foo Fighters aren't "new" either, but they're still highly relevant as ever today

First of all, just have to say , I love you all. Infinite love is the only truth, everything else is illusion..
With that said, Wizard i appreciate your hard and long effort in your posts, but i still cannot agree with you though. Radiohead? Im sorry but i dont find them good at all , sorry just my truth.
All those bands may be OK bands but i still don't think they have that "QUEEN" quality , actually i don't think anybody has that. But anyways, there is just something that differs between Queen music and the rest, i can't really put the finger on it, but it is beyond the rest.
It is like it is everlasting (not all their songs but plenty of them) and i think that is very much due to Freddie. Something about that man that noone can fully understand, to understand what he was. I think he was the best thing that has ever happend to this world, he was the closest to god walking with two legs.

Ever heard of the concept of making your OWN identifiable sound? Of course you haven't, since you pretty much shit on any music that isn't Queen or your own

All I can say is ... keep listening with an open mind, and you'll find other music that moves you in similar ways. But if you listen to things with the "nothing will top Queen" mentality, then it won't. What sounds better to you - having one band that connects with you on a profound level, or having many?
Beatles, Zeppelin, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Rush, Chicago, Dream Theater, Muse... they have all connected with me in similar ways. And that's just rock. Stevie Wonder, Dixie Dregs, Zappa, Secret Garden, Morcheeba, Metric, Tommy Emmanuel, Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, Oscar Peterson, New York Ska Jazz Ensemble, Cat Empire... there's just so much good music out there.
But if you think only one band will ever connect with you, then that's fine too. But most people would think you're deprived.
And for the record, I'd say Frank Zappa was much closer to "god with two legs" than Mercury. Zappa released about 80 records in a 25 year period, and contributed far greater things to the evolution of music than anyone else of his time.

To be honest here,im not thinking that way. Im not thinking "lets see if this tops Queen", if i hear something good i'll admit it's good. I don't only listen to Queen, i can listen to Vangelis, Classical music, I can listen to some Jackson songs , some odd 80s or 70s songs. I like music that has depth and is sorta timeless. That is where Queen shines, they wrote timeless music where others doesn't seem to be able to do as great.
You can't be serious with that Frank Zappa is closer to a god than Freddie. Even if he did do great things for evolution of music, that still doesn't mean much. Freddie did what noone else can/could do, that is to write music that never gets old, music that still sounds fresh even if its 40 years old. While there are other artists that could write a song 2 years ago and it sounds dated....
Just sayin , He was a god and i think we all know it deep down inside.

That may be the dumbest thing you've ever said. If key people didn't help music evolve, we'd all still be doing the Gregorian Chant. Or hitting rocks with sticks.

Plenty of people have done that. You just haven't noticed.

Bob, it's pointless to talk to him. I still see how he keeps trolling.

Im not trolling, im me , this is truly the real me. I'm speaking what I feel. This is no trolling. I truly believe Freddie is a godly being.
Wizard: you are right in that without others ,there wouldn't be at the same evolution,stage but that still.doesn't change the fact that Freddie was the ultimate musician/ singer

Fact? On what grounds?
Mercury was a great pianist, one of the all-time great rock singers and showmen, crossed over into many genres, and wrote number one hits - but lots of people have done those things.
Did Freddie:
-conduct an orchestra?
-compose symphonies?
-play in a jazz band?
-sing literally every style of music? Reggae, latino, bossa nova, ska?
Not that I'm trying to diminish his accomplishments, but nobody can possibly be the "ultimate musician."
Saying Mercury was more important than Mozart, Zappa or The Beatles is like saying Bill Nye is the ultimate scientist, when people like Marie Curie discovered elements on the periodic table.
Zappa created entire records that were major steps in musical evolution. Until you immerse yourself into his work and dozens of other artists who were game-changers, you cannot profess that the ONE singer you are knowledgeable of is somehow superior to things you don't even know or understand.
Dude, you have no idea what makes a good musician, nor do you understand the concept of musical evolution. You sound like a bible-thumper trying to convert people to a religion with your idiotic, baseless statements. Stop making a fool of yourself.
